Ready for a New ME!! TT Coming Soon! - Dallas, TX

ORIGINAL POST

Hello everyone! Okay so my TT is coming up very...

Hello everyone! Okay so my TT is coming up very soon (July 15th). I am so excited about it but also very nervous. I am a mother of 3 beautiful children (9,5,3) and I am done having babies....did I mention they were all c-sections? I have been wanting a TT for the last 2 years now and I'm glad that we have been blessed financially to afford it. All my life I have been a chubby girl, well atleast for my height and being top heavy really doesn't help and after having 3 kids it has been very hard for me to lose weight. I have tried every diet I could, an amount of diet pills, I work out as much I can and to no avail. I always manage to lose about 10 pounds and my body will just stop and I can't seem to lose anymore than that. I am so glad that I found this site! I really hope that I can have amazing results as I have seen others on here. I just hope that with all the research I have done I am fully prepared....are there any "special" items I would need? and by "special" I mean like stuff you wouldn't have been comfortable without. Any tips and advice is greatly appreciated ;) Thanks.

Tomorrow's your big day. I've heard lots of other women say: good compression garments a necessity, a recliner for sleeping in or many pillows to make yourself comfortable, and most importantly, help with your three children until you've healed. Keep us updated!

Good luck! Keep us posted and try to share some pictures :) When I see other women share their pre and post-op pictures, I fin it very encouraging. I will definately post both once my surgery has been performed.

the worst pain for me wasn't the incision itself but the tightness of the muscles...especially the day of surgery. Since I had mine done first thing in the morning I got to feel it all day but after that the pain is manageable, one thing though make sure that you are punctual with your meds!

Hello ladies well today is 1 day after my TT and I am feeling great, the pain isn't as bad as some had described but it's very uncomfortable. Having had 3 previous c-secs I feel pretty much confident on doing things on my own. My tummy looks very nice so far and so does my new belly button. Thank you all for your well wishes and I will post pics as soon as I get all the bandages off.

I strongly recommend a recliner, a ton of pillows, and Jello, since thats all I ate the first 2 days! Good luck!
